Blue Catfish
If you're after blue catfish near Mont Belvieu, Texas, the Trinity River and its connected waterways are your best bet. These waters hold a solid population of blues, and while trophy-sized fish aren't guaranteed, consistent action is possible. The best times to target them are spring and fall when the water temperatures are moderate. Look for deeper holes, channel bends, and areas with current. Cut bait, such as shad or mullet, is the go-to choice for blues in this region. Night fishing can also be very productive. For bank access, consider areas along the Trinity River National Wildlife Refuge, but be sure to check for any specific regulations or restrictions. A boat will open up more opportunities, allowing you to explore the deeper channels and backwaters. Be prepared for some current, especially during periods of heavy rainfall. Remember to check tide charts if fishing near the Galveston Bay outflow.
